Abstract
A device ( 10 ) for the demounting of blades ( 12 ), which are pushed in with a blade root ( 20 ) on a wheel disk ( 14 ) of a blade wheel ( 16 ) of a turbine or of a compressor, is designed with a support ( 24 ) which is designed to be brought to bear against at least one component of the turbine, and is designed with an actuator ( 28 ) which is coupled to the support ( 24 ) and is designed for moving the blade root ( 20 ) mechanically out of the wheel disk ( 14 ).
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1. A device for the demounting of a blade which is pushed in with a blade root on a wheel disk of a blade wheel of a turbine engine, comprising:
a support adapted to bear against a component of the turbine engine, the support having a bearing adapted to bear against a step of the blade wheel; and
an actuator coupled to the support and for moving the blade root mechanically out of the wheel disk,
wherein the actuator has a tension element for gripping the blade moving out of the wheel disk.
2. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the turbine engine is located in a turbine section or a compressor section.
3. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the actuator uses hydraulics.
4. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the actuator has a bearing surface for moving a securing element arranged on the blade out of the wheel disk with the associated blade.
5. The device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a holding mechanism adapted for supporting the blade.
6. The device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the holding mechanism is adapted for guiding the blade during removal from the wheel disk.
7. The device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a cover adapted for covering sealing tips formed on the blade wheel.
8. The device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the cover and a holding mechanism are formed as a single part.
9. The device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a monitor adapted for limiting the force acting on the blade by the actuator.
10. The device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the monitor is selected from the group consisting of a load cell, a corresponding control, an indicator, and combinations thereof.
11. A turbine engine having a demountable blade within a turbine section of the turbine engine, comprising:
a wheel disk of a blade wheel adapted for the blade to be pushed into the wheel disk via a blade root;
a support adapted to bear against a component of the turbine, the support having a bearing adapted to bear against a step of the blade wheel; and
an actuator coupled to the support and for moving the blade root mechanically out of the wheel disk,
wherein the actuator has a tension element for gripping the blade moving out of the wheel disk.
12. The turbine engine as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the actuator uses hydraulics.
13. The turbine as engine claimed in claim 11 , wherein the actuator has a bearing surface for moving a securing element arranged on the blade out of the wheel disk with the associated blade.
14. The turbine engine as claimed in claim 11 , further comprising a holding mechanism adapted for supporting the blade.
15. The turbine engine as claimed in claim 11 , further comprising a cover adapted for covering sealing tips formed on the blade wheel.
16. The turbine engine as claimed in claim 11 , further comprising a monitor adapted for limiting the force acting on the blade by the actuator.Cited by (0)
